Mr.. NJ. F. Patterson, local breeder of
fine cattle, is enthusiastic in praise of al
falfa, which be has grown with great sue
cess on his place near the city. He
thinks it pre-eminently adapted to Texas,

duced each season. AS feed for hogs,
horses and cattle, it taxes high rank.

The reason why some sows deVour their
pigs is because they are improperly fed.
They are given too much dry food, and
this causes trouble with their bowels; a
feyerish state is induced, and they are
cross t. their pigs. Costiveness creates
a morbid appitite in the sow, and causes
her at times to devour her young. Bran
mashes given freely as the time OF far
rowing approaches is said to be the true
remedy.
